Butterfly Wings

With words I fly a butterfly
Hover where the flowers lie
Interlink with them and think
And dip my pen in colored ink.

Phrases flow like falling snow
Garnish all enthralling glow.
To rise with morning’s mist of kiss
And make the glory, morning’s bliss

Their nectar fills my poets pen
To web the wings to frame and then
I wash the cling with hues of due
And fly into a sky of blue.

I fair above the world of wear
And dance upon the clouds in dare.
Build my castles niche by niche
Word by word, stitch by stitch
  
That rakes the harp in Isles of wile.
So when I wake, I smile a smile.

...and in the smile, so beguiled was she
that she sang, and danced, most merrily
she twirled about in fair harmony
and all because of little ol' me...

Seymour Tabin,

Thank you, what a wonderful way to wake up this morning. Beautifully written, wonderful imagery. I was that butterly awaking from my cocoon. I was there, just for the moment.:

Ahhhh, so this is the secret to your beautifully colored words.

If need be, may I borrow some of your ink?

Very special writing -- thank you, Marti

I am ever grateful when your pen stretches its wings...
your rhymes divine make my heart sing
Let you pen soar and fly high ...
For we touch the sky when we read our dear Sy.

You are my butterfly poet... and you better just know it

*winkiewinkie*

In the space between now and then
I lost the fire, lost a friend
and Ill never be the same again
Still, I believe in the innocence
we gave away.

JM,
Dear Tink, This butterfly knows a flower when he sees one. And is ever grateful it has bloomed for me. I hope all goes well at home and you don't tire from so much flying.
My heart and thoughts are with you and so is Randy's. WWRS

Martie,

I felt like the gentle touch of his poetic wings and this was just the right touch.  This poet is sure missed.  Thank goodness for the archives.

Yes, dear Sharon, our wonderful Seymour is very much missed, but he is soaring up there and I am sure he knows the butterfly-state-of-mind even better now!

This was a great pleasure to read and oh ... it fits!

Love,
Margherita
